He wasn't a philosopher, he was a syncretist. It was already widely believed by the intellegentsia that this stuff was worthy, he was just trying to make christianity fit the worthy thing. That he's remembered as a philosopher by the christian apparatus is a damning statement on how little they had in the way of philosophy.
